Every time I dig a little deeper into svg's I'm amazed at what they can do. Latest exploration - path animations. eg being able to morph one shape into another.

I'm surprised though that a Flash-like software tool doesn't exist for composing complex SVGs w/ animations and interactions. Given how accessible svg outputs are, people could be creating some amazing Flash-like things that can be run just about anywhere. Admittedly, coding svg's can be pretty tricky to learn.
- idle_zealot 8y agoWhen you say they can be run just about anywhere, I assime you mean in web browsers. I doubt most image viewers that "support" SVG implement the more powerful features necessary to achieve Flash-like software.
- justinator 8y agoI think Flash itself could export SVG. Illustrator got that ability, too. Can't remember how much animation/interaction there was, though.

- pcmaffey 8y agoThanks! As per this (really good) article https://medium.com/@fmuaddib/the-following-are-the-possible-ways-to-create-professional-animations-in-svg-9d4caca5f4ec https://medium.com/@fmuaddib/the-following-are-the-possible-... > The former Adobe Flash Pro was fully rewritten by Adobe to migrate from the now obsolete flash animations to the modern SVG animations. You can export the resulting SVG animations along with a custom javascript library, or choose to save in SVG+SMIL using plugins like “flash2svg”.
